Inside Reuters' agentic AI video experiment
"We've asked the LLM to pick the best bits and create what we call a wrap edit. And it's actually doing quite a good job. So that's without even having that multimodal. So if we can actually get the AI as an agentic AI system to understand that, to be able to look at things and compile things, we might be able to get the AI to build the edits for us, which would be quite extraordinary,"
"It's... writing the instructions so that they're understood and can be applied [by an AI agent],"
Reuters is experimenting with an AI agent to speed video production and has hired an AI video producer to help oversee the initiative. The newsroom previously used AI mainly for text workflows, and now uses AI tools to create and process video metadata to cut different edits. An LLM has been asked to pick the best bits and create wrap edits, producing promising results even without multimodal capabilities. The AI agent would generate rough cuts while humans make final editing decisions. About 60% of the newsroom uses AI, with 50 to 100 users applying it to coding and investigations, and adoption rising monthly.
